The Australians and Western Europeans being surprised by the same Latin America style political shenanigans perpetrated on them by the american government to prevent them from going commie -- or obstructing the Epstein class in Australia's case -- feels so much more satisfying than proving a maga wrong and I think betrays acculturation as an American.
I was surprised too. I searched it up and supposedly the US had something to do with pushing the govener general to sac the labour prime minister and replace him with the liberal opposition.

Australia is a bit of a surprise, is it just poorly cut or is there a backstory to this?

I wouldn't take it as fact until you look into it more so I'm not really sure. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alleged_CIA_involvement_in_the_Whitlam_dismissal
